RW coming back?

[daliad100]

I'm also doing A levels and have started an ant and have some plans for some heavier stuff.

[team_orr]

im not doing a-levels....im too young :P but i still find the time to make many...many robots...well... just look under my username :P

but seriously, robot wars...well we'v got roaming robots, robots live and robo challenge....i see it coming back...its waaaaaay off but i see it coming back

perhaps try making an ant weight?

I will do sometime but can i also ask what happened to the house robots?

[psycho_fling]

who knows

they were the tv companies property so they may have stored or sold the parts on

btw RR events have house robots

[MattPPA13]

i saw on facebook that sgt Bash is at Hemel

[RogueTwoRobots]

Yeah that was a Sgt Bash shell or replica they had. Wasn't at that event but seeing pictures of a classic house robot at a modern live event was cool.

As someone mentioned, the house robots are stored in a warehouse somewhere. I believe they are the property of the BBC Visual Effects department so they're probably stored alongside various other TV props. A sad existence for some amazing machines
Who fancies a stealthy trip to go rescue them?

[MattPPA13]

I think ill e-mail the bbc to try and find out what happened to them

[MattPPA13]

You have to contact them through a blog as they dont really want to read the e-mails

[calumco]

lol bin there done that,

back when i first started all the robot stuff i was the same as you and i asked the bbc aswell

if my memory serves me right as it was about a year and a half ago i asked......

the guy who designed them chris reynolds and his team, used to work for the bbc visual effects department so at that point the bbc owned them, but that closed down around series 6 time so im not too sure how but then chris ended up owning them with his new special effects company that he currently owns called alleffects or something like that,

series 7 ended, so he up until about 2 years ago he kept them in his workshop but then put them into storage as they were getting in the way.

as far as i no they are still in storage unless they have broke free and are living wild somewhere
